Digg





Digg is a web site where you can get updates on a lot of different things. Such as gaming, news, lifestyle, sports, technology, and politics. One Example of news you can get on digg is that Call of Duty has changed the way people look at the entertainment industry. Gamers spent over $ 1,200,000,000 in the frist five day's when Call of Duty Black Ops and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 came out.












Other news that is big on digg is that the Paul "The Truth" Pierce had been fined $15,ooo for throwing an object (gum) into the stands. It is not clear on why he did such a thing, but my partners and I thinks its because he had two personal fouls with eigth mintues left in the first quarter.

Ning

Ning allows you to create your own social networking sites like Facebook, Myspace and etc. This website is mostly used by famous people in order to stay in contact with their fans. Ning can be used for politics, music, sports, entertainment, non-profit, publishing, and brands. This website is risk free and for thirty days which means that you can create a website and it will be free for thirty days, but after that, it will cost you. This is a good deal because it allows you to create your own social networking sites for a cheap price and it last until every payment price.  This is a good way for teachers to communicate with their students while they are at home, especially the teenage body. Have you ever tried to get a 15 year old kid off Facebook. Why not make a Facebook of education.
